Modest Opinion.......2005-10-22

This was the first pig cd that I bought. Overall I am very happy with it. The biggest dissapointment were the lyrics and instrumentals. The lyrics just seem unintelligent and rushed.

1. Prayer Praise & Profit
This is a nice catchy tune. Th lyrics are of course lame. It starts off with a cool orchestral intro. Then a drum beat kicks in. The whole song is basically this drum beat with some electronics in the background. Very cool song. 7/10
2. Riot Religion & Righteousness
Just by looking at the title of the song you can tell his lyrics are pretty bad. It is a techno song with some guitar. The song is Raymond basically saying something very repetitive in a robotic voice. The music in the song is very good though, and the robotic voice adds a lot to it. 7/10
3. Salambo
Easily one the best songs on the cd. Has a cool mambo theme throughout the song. 8/10
4. Whore
Slow song, mundane lyrics, repetitive music.
4/10
5. Flesh Fest
Another very good song. I love raymonds singing in this song.
8/10
6. Black Brothel
Lame instrumental
1/10
7. Disrupt Degrade & Devastate
Very good blend of rock and techno. Has a nice chorus with a female.
7/10
8. F.O.M.
Mixes between fast metal and slow techno. Interesting is a word for it.
6/10
9. A Fete Worse Than Death
I had no idea what a fete was so I looked it up. It's a party. I don't like the title or lyrics. The music is very cool and it's my favorite song on the cd.
8/10
10. Cry Baby
Very unique tune of a woman speaking in japanese. Not a whole lot of "music" though.
4/10
11. Inside
THIS IS THE LONGEST AND WORSE INSTRUMENTAL EVER CREATED
14 MINUTES!
0/10
12. Saved Remix
Very cool remix of saved.

Raymond Watts' worst since Praise The Lard.......2005-07-26

I don't know how people can say that this is a great record with songs like Salambo, Whore, and Flesh Fest...they suck...BAD! I loved Sinsation and Wrecked, but this album carries the same forced, cheesy feel that made The Swining and Praise the Lard stinkers. The bad instrumentals(black brothel), the even worse spanish-influenced songs(Salambo), and the mediocre songs(Flesh Fest). There is no way this is his best work, and you're crazy if you think it is. If you like the awesome heavy industrial feel of Sinsation and Wrecked, then I recommend you get his latest album called Pigmartyr released under the band name WATTS...It's the same guitar-driven industrial, but the songs are the best things he has made...totally recommended. You should check out the KMFDM albums NAIVE, ATTAK, and WWIII. They have Raymond Watts' doing what he does best on songs like Blackball, Flesh, and Preach/Pervert....Those songs are some of his best...seriously. Of course this is all my opinion, but I recommend skipping Genuine American Monster, as well as Praise The Lard and The Swining.

It's a good thing they brought it to the U.S.!.......2005-02-05

This was first released in Japan, so it wasn't sure whether they were going to release it in the U.S. or not. It's a good thing they did, because this is one of Pig's more solid efforts. Plus, they added an extra track to the U.S. edition. This is the epitome of techno rock, with Guenter Schulz from KMFDM and Slick Idiot adding some assistance.

1. Prayer, Praise, and Profit - 10/10 - The best opening for any song EVER, a masterful orchestrated opening builds up to a heavy guitar rift. The chorus is simply fantastic. Put simply, this song is SWEET.
2. Riot, Religion, and Righteousness - 10/10 - An electronic song with some guitars. Raymond Watts sings in a robotic voice, except during the chorus, which is the best chorus ever made for a song. If you can't understand the lyrics, go to www.raymondwatts.com and find them out. You don't want to miss out on them.
3. Salambo - 9/10 - Bordering on Tango, this industrial Mariachi mix might turn hardcore Industrial fans from listening to it, but it's quite a treat. You'll be in a for a pleasant surprise.
4. Whore - 9/10 - Basically, the lyrics are just a lot of Pig's songs/album titles thrown together. The music is very slow and low-key, but it builds up to a rocking electronic chorus.
5. Flesh Fest - 10/10 - Mainly a rock song, but with some Jazz elements, and a Tango-like keyboard near the end. Watch out of the lyrics, some of them are quite offensive.
6. Black Brothel - 9/10 - A really short instrumental, somewhat of a rehash of Transceration from Sinsation, with some piano added in.
7. Disrupt, Degrade, and Devastate - 10/10 - Probably the most famous song off here, this had its own single. With lyrics attacking religion, awesome guitars, and skillfully placed electronic work, you can't go wrong.
8. F.O.M. - 10/10 - Just so you know, the guitar is SUPPOSED TO SKIP in the beginning. There's nothing wrong with your CD player. Anyway, most of the music is very quiet techno, but the chorus has some of the best heavy guitar on the album. Like most of the songs on this album, the chorus is amazing.
9. A Fete Worse Than Death - 9/10 - This and Salambo are the catchiest songs on the album. The cool thing about this song is that samples from a movie are used, and they actually don't sound out of sync with the chorus. This has the best electronic and guitar work on the album. The only reason it doesn't get a perfect 10 is because Raymond Watts doesn't sing the chorus. Also, a female singer gets a solo near the end of the song, and her singing is terrible. She sounds like a horrible knock-off of Patti LaBelle.
10. Cry Baby - 2/10 - It has good percussion near the beginning, but that's the only good point about this song. The vocals are done by Raymond Watts, they're spoken word vocals done by some random guy talking in Spanish. The song is very creepy, don't play this with the lights out.
11. Inside - 9/10 - A very long instrumental, it also has a New Age feel to it like Transceration from Sinsation or Watt from A Stroll in the Pork. It also has some jungle-like drums near the end. The only downside is that it's too long, clocking in at over 10 minutes.
12. Saved (Locust Remix) - 10/10 - A remix of Save Me from Wrecked, this is the U.S.-only bonus track, although it's also on Prime Evil. It's just as good as the original, although the vocals are distorted, they sound cool that way. The vocals are also chopped up and re-sequenced to actually create a rhythm. The main lyrics and chorus are still sung normally, though.

OVERALL SCORE: 8.9/10
CONCLUSION: Sadly, this is Pig's last album. Raymond Watts is now in a band called Watts. However, this is fairly recent, and won't go out of print anytime soon (hopefully). Still, you should get a copy to add to your collection.
